  1. These were all great, and they started strong and finished strong as well. The first few made me smile, and then the bookstore one really made me laugh. Thanks for the smile …

  3. I love these – and they are definitely reminiscent of Steven Wright (who has a couple of space on my iPod)…’civil war’ – I’ve wondered about that.. xoxo

  4. are they all Steven Wright? They’re fantastic–all of them. Tequila cracks me up. Especially love the ones that make me think a second about why they’re funny, but impossible to pick a favorite. Like justme792’s joke 🙂

    • They might be, I didn’t source them when I found them, just knew I had to share! I love ’em all! And yes, the tequila one, I kinda knew you’d love that one..had you at tequila, right?! I agree, the mermaid joke from justme792 is a great addition. Glad you got a kick out these and even before the *ahem* evening beverages began?? 😀

  6. They all made me laugh so much. The one about the little mermaid made my friend think about another one:

    Why does the little mermaid wear seashells?
    — Because the a-shells and b-shells were too small
